1 Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care in Kansas In 2007, CDC administered the first national Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care ( mpinc ) survey. All hospitals and birth centers in the U.S. that provide maternity care were invited to participate. This report describes specific opportunities to improve mother-baby care at hospitals and birth centers in Kansas in order to more successfully meet national quality of care standards for perinatal care. For more information about the mpinc survey, visit Changes in Maternity Care Practices Improve Breastfeeding Rates Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for infants and is associated with decreased risk for infant morbidity and mortality as well as maternal morbidity. 1 Maternity practices in hospitals and birth centers can influence breastfeeding behaviors during a period critical to successful establishment of lactation. 2 The literature, including a Cochrane review, found that institutional changes in maternity care practices to make them more supportive of breastfeeding increased initiation and duration of breastfeeding. 3

2 Strengths in Breastfeeding Support in Kansas Facilities Documentation of Mothers' Feeding Decisions Availability of Prenatal Breastfeeding Instruction Needed Improvements in Kansas Facilities Appropriate Use of Breastfeeding Supplements Adequate Assessment of Staff Competency Adequate Assessment of Staff Competency Protection of Patients from Formula Marketing Staff at all (100%) facilities in Kansas consistently ask about and record mothers' infant feeding decisions. Staff at 88% of facilities in Kansas include breastfeeding education as a routine element of their prenatal classes. Only 28% of facilities in Kansas adhere to standard clinical practice guidelines against routine supplementation with formula, glucose water, or water. Only 10% of facilities in Kansas annually assess staff competency for basic breastfeeding management and support. Only 27% of facilities in Kansas annually assess staff competency for basic breastfeeding management and support. Only 13% of facilities in Kansas adhere to clinical and public health recommendations against distributing formula company discharge packs. Standard documentation of infant feeding decisions is important to adequately support maternal choice. Prenatal education about breastfeeding is important because it provides mothers with a better understanding of the benefits and requirements of breastfeeding, resulting in improved breastfeeding rates. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Guidelines for Perinatal Care recommend against routine supplementation because supplementation with formula and/or water makes infants more likely to receive formula at home and stop breastfeeding prematurely. Implementing comprehensive assessment of staff training and skills for basic breastfeeding management and support establishes the foundation for quality infant feeding care. Adequate training and skills assessment are critical to ensure that mothers and infants receive care that is consistent, evidence-based, and appropriate. Implementing comprehensive assessment of staff training and skills for basic breastfeeding management and support establishes the foundation for quality infant feeding care. Adequate training and skills assessment are critical to ensure that mothers and infants receive care that is consistent, evidence-based, and appropriate. Distribution of discharge packs contributes to premature breastfeeding discontinuation. The ACOG, AAP, American Public Health Association (APHA), and the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) all identify this practice as inappropriate in medical environments and recommend against it.

3 Breastfeeding is a National Priority Breastfeeding protects mothers and infants health. 1 Healthy People includes breastfeeding as a national priority and it is recommended by a number of health professional organizations. 5 Establishing evidence-based, breastfeeding-supportive maternity practices as standards of care in US hospitals and birth centers will help meet Healthy People 2010 breastfeeding objectives and will help improve maternal and child health nationwide. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Safer, Healthier, People The CDC mpinc Survey The CDC mpinc survey was mailed to all US maternity facilities, with the request that it be completed by the person most knowledgeable about the facility s maternity practices related to infant feeding and care. 89% of the 76 eligible hospitals and birth centers in Kansas responded to the 2007 CDC mpinc survey. Each participating facility received its facility-specific benchmark report in October For more information about the mpinc survey, visit

Possible item, subscale, and overall scores range from 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest, best possible score. + State ranks range from 1 to 52, with 1 being the highest rank. In case of a tie, both states are given the same rank. Calculation excludes facilities responses that indicate is unknown for the practice measured in a given item. - State ranks are not shown for survey questions with 90% or more facilities reporting ideal responses. 54

6 Improvement is Needed in Maternity Care Practices and Policies in Kansas Many opportunities exist in Kansas to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding mothers and infants. To take action on this critical need, consider the following: Examine Kansas regulations for maternity facilities and evaluate their evidence base; revise if necessary. Sponsor a Kansas-wide summit of key decision-making staff at maternity facilities to highlight the importance of evidence-based practices for breastfeeding. Pay for hospital staff across Kansas to participate in 18-hour training courses in breastfeeding. Establish links among maternity facilities and community breastfeeding support networks in Kansas. Identify and implement programs within hospital settings choose one widespread practice and adjust it to be evidence-based and supportive of breastfeeding. Integrate maternity care into related Quality Improvement efforts including: o Consistent delivery of optimal care o Improving patient flow o Improving patient experience & loyalty o Engaging physicians in a shared quality agenda o Increasing staff efficiency o Optimizing hospital-to-home transitions

7 Develop a plan to ensure adherence to the Joint Commission s recently revised (July 2009) Perinatal Care Core Measure Set to include exclusive breastfeeding at discharge in hospital data collection starting with April 1, 2010, discharges.
